Xue Yuan was honest, not crazy, he was easily appeased by Gu Yuanbai, and Gu Yuanbai himself was a little surprised.
He roasted the fire for a while, thinking about the things Xue Yuan said, which pierced into his heart like a thorn. Not only him, but for all frontier soldiers, the court's inaction is a deep thorn.
Nomads must be beaten, and they must be beaten and feared, and their territory is reserved for their own use, and people are captured and used as free labor. But before fighting, Daheng's cavalry had to practice first.
If you want to practice cavalry, you have to have a large number of horses.
The nomads have fierce riding skills, and the cavalry has always been the natural enemy of the infantry.
The imperial court now has insufficient cavalry and underdeveloped traffic, so for the time being it is impossible to conquer the territory of the lower-level shepherds. It can only send someone to beat them up before the construction of the trade route, and teach them a lesson and let them know how to be obedient. The government escorted Zhang's business routes and provided military support. It could not rectify the scattered troops in the entire grassland, but it could also kill chickens and warn monkeys to make them obediently accept border exchanges.
The light of the fire swayed on Gu Yuanbai's face, and Xue Yuan, who was beside him, suddenly recovered from his trance, and he rushed out of the cave.
It was still pouring rain outside the cave.
Gu Yuanbai: "..." Xue Yuan was really sick.
Xue Yuan, who was said to be sick by the sage, was drenched in rain and felt that the water should be able to wash away the water in his mind. He wiped his face and felt that he was awake and rational, so he turned back to the cave and saw Gu Yuanbai in the middle of the crowd at first sight.
Hearing the footsteps, the little emperor lifted his eyelids and glanced at him. Mo Yue was because Xue Yuan was too embarrassed. He was a little surprised, and the corners of his lips twitched into a smile.
Xue Yuan looked at Gu Yuanbai fixedly, something flashed in his eyes, but when Gu Yuanbai wanted to grasp this feeling, Xue Yuan withdrew his gaze and strode towards him.
The clothes were soaking wet, clinging to his tall and powerful body, and the wet marks of the rain followed him all the way. Xue Yuan walked straight to Gu Yuanbai's side, Gu Yuanbai couldn't bear to smile at him: "Xue Guard, have you damaged your head?"
The speed of Xue Yuan's heart beating made him upset. He looked at Gu Yuanbai's pale lips, "Sir, it seems that something is wrong with this minister."
Gu Yuanbai spread out his robes and waited in earnest: "What's wrong?"
"Chen..." When I saw you, my heart thumped, Xue Yuan pondered for a while, "I always want to..." Pick up your pants.
Nothing is right.
Xue Yuan glanced at Zhang Xu's bodyguard and asked himself if he wanted to take off his pants. After thinking for a moment, his face changed suddenly, and he was so disgusted that he was about to vomit.
After the nausea was over, Xue Yuan said in his heart, it seems that it is not the problem of Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu still doesn't like men.
Then why would he jump around in front of Gu Yuanbai and just want to rip off his pants
Why is it now... Gu Yuanbai is all thinking about it.
Xue Yuan was confused.
After a long while, he leaned over and hugged Gu Yuanbai, and whispered in his ear: "I want to see if your place is pink."
This kind of tone is like searching for an ultimate answer.
Regardless of the miscellaneous things, Xue Yuan just wanted to know if he could return to his original state at a glance.
Gu Yuanbai was inexplicable, "Where?"
Xue Yuan's breath was hot, and he said frankly, "Descendants."
The guards who were sitting around the fire were talking in low voices in twos and threes when they heard a "bang" sound from the side. They turned their heads and saw that Lord Du Yuhou was kicked by their saint. to the root of the descendants.
Sheng Shang's face was ugly, and he sneered again and again. Xue Yuan was already kneeling on the ground, bent over in pain, feeling the sour and refreshing feeling. Looking at Xue Yuan's expression, the guards had already felt his pain, and they couldn't help but shiver and shivered.
Gu Yuanbai's foot was ruthless, but Xue Yuan took a step back in time to relieve his strength, otherwise he would really be abolished and become the first eunuch of the Xue family.
But it still hurts after taking off the strength. Xue Yuan arched his back in pain. Gu Yuanbai looked at him like this, and the expression on his face was finally relieved.
He stepped forward and said, "Ha", "Do you still know it hurts?"
Xue Yuan was sweating profusely, he raised his head and glanced at Gu Yuanbai, and his heart began to beat again. Following his heart, he reached out and grabbed Gu Yuanbai's ankle, and he gasped in pain, "Sir, don't kick yourself."
When the torrential rain fell from the sky, Qin Tianjian's heart was cold.
But at this moment, no one cared whether their hearts were cold or not. The palace servants and the imperial guards were busy, and they kept going to bring back the princes, nobles and ministers who were hunting outside to take shelter from the rain. But the most anxious and important saint has never been discovered.
The emperor asked Qintian to monitor the weather many times, because now is in the critical period of the anti-corruption campaign, Gu Yuanbai is the backbone, if he is ill, then in the period of recuperation, without the emperor as a backer, anti-corruption people will shrink their hands and will Take the initiative by those local snakes.
But even on such an important day, Qin Tianjian failed to calculate that it was raining!
The palace attendants and the imperial guards were so anxious that their mouths froze, for fear that the Sage might get wet with rain, and also that the Sage might not have enough clothes on. After the prince and the prince were escorted back wet by the guards, they learned that the saint had not returned.
After standing with the prince for a while, he suddenly woke up, turned around and strode away, and asked the guards to prepare their robes, lead the horses and prepare to go deep into the rain to find the uneasy emperor.
The guard persuaded: "My lord, the Imperial Guards have already dispatched to look for it. We all go, but it's just a drop in the bucket."
"Then it's a drop in the bucket," He and the prince got on his horse, and the raindrops hit the scorpion and slid down the body, "Hurry up."
The guards were helpless, so they could only put on the mino jacket and keep up. The horses had difficulty walking in the torrential rain. They slipped several times due to the rain, and the prince and the prince shouted a few words from the Holy Spirit. Finally, when they ran out of patience, they shouted loudly: "Gu Lian—"
Gu Lian is the name of the sage. When the late emperor passed away, the sage had not yet erected a crown, and before he died, he left these two words as Gu Yuanbai's words.
He was used to calling Gu Yuanbai's name by his own name, but when he shouted at this moment, the guards around him suddenly changed their expressions and stopped him, "Your Highness! Don't call him by his holy name!"
He wiped his face with a trace of bitterness on his face, and he murmured, "This prince forgot..."
He was ecstatic for a moment, then came back to his senses, and continued to shout loudly from the same subordinates: "Holy -"
In the cave, the saint who was anxiously looking for was burning leisurely, and Xue Yuan, who was kicked and smiling by him, set the fire for him full of energy. Gu Yuanbai's face was expressionless, and he didn't have a good face yet.
Xue Yuan is usually not a talkative person, but looking at the expressionless little emperor, his mouth never stopped for a moment, and the smile on his face kept smiling, making the saint want him to smile.
The side of his body facing the fire has been dried by the fire, and the black hair at the back is still knotted together. I can't tell if he is handsome or ugly, but he has a talent for amusing people.
"Your Majesty," Xue Yuan said with a smile, "I will tell you an interesting story."
He picked a scholar to teach in the countryside, but he didn't know the grain, so he pretended to understand the story. The conflict between the warrior and the literati was born, the literati despised the warrior for being rude, and the warrior despised the literati for being pretentious. Therefore, as soon as Xue Yuan's story was finished, the low-key one of the guards just bent the corners of their mouths, and many others laughed directly.
Gu Yuanbai glanced at Xue Yuan, and although he wanted to run over him again, he also heard the story.
It sounds funny at first, but after thinking about it, I feel helpless and hateful.
Some of the scholars of the Daheng Dynasty had never been to the ground, and they never knew how the grains in the bowls came from. There are also many scholars who lived a hard life and dedicated themselves to the people before entering official positions, but after they entered official positions, they became corrupt, which made the local people unable to live in peace. This kind of thing happens again and again, and it is extravagant to eat, drink and play with public funds. The person Gu Yuanbai remembers most clearly in his memory is Li Shen, the author of "Being Mercy". Because of the great contrast, he was almost shocked three times when he was young. view. 1
He sighed and began to worry about his hair and lifespan. The road is long, and when will it be a head.
Xue Yuan saw that everyone laughed, but the little emperor sighed. He was a little at a loss, took out the confidence to lead the army to fight, and said solemnly: "If the sage doesn't like this story, there are several others here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people in the cave heard the voice of "Sacred Lord" shouting outside. The guard near the door of the cave got up quickly, looked outside cautiously, and replied, "Your Highness, you and the prince brought someone here!"
"What are they doing here?" Gu Yuanbai looked at the unfading rain outside the cave, "It's raining so hard, even if they find me, I won't be able to go back with them."
It's not that Gu Yuanbai is afraid of the rain, but that Gu Yuanbai's body is closely related to the fate of this country, and he can't take risks with himself.
The guard hesitated: "Chen let the prince and the prince go back?"
"Let them come in too," Gu Yuanbai said, "bake it on the fire, and let's go together when the rain stops."
The guards ran to the entrance of the cave and tried their best to shout for the prince and the prince not far away. After a while, the prince and the prince and his guards, who were dressed in mino robes, walked into the cave. They took off the cloaks that were full of water, and the prince looked up and saw that Gu Yuanbai was looking good, so they were relieved.
"What do those Qin Tian prisoners eat?" Prince He frowned and walked over to Gu Yuanbai and sat down, stretched out his hand to bake the fire, "I can't even count such an important day. If it wasn't for you guys who could find a place The cave, I am afraid that a group of people will have to suffer from the cold."
Gu Yuanbai nodded, agreeing: "It is indeed the punishment."
Prince He couldn't help laughing, glanced at him again, and said involuntarily: "How long has the holy fire been roasting? His face is red."
"Really?" Gu Yuanbai was also a little thirsty. He was about to ask Zhang Xu to fetch him water when a water bag was handed over to him on the right, it was Xue Yuan.
Gu Yuanbai took a sip and said with a smile, "And the prince, how is the situation outside?"
After talking to him with the Prince and watching Gu Yuanbai's serious listening, his expression softened for a moment, and then suddenly stiffened. The tone gradually became stiff, "...The ministers are very concerned about the Holy One, and no one was injured or sick."
Gu Yuanbai nodded, "Not bad."
Staring at the fire with the prince, he became silent.
The jumping fire was in his eyes, and it was as painful as putting him on the fire.
In other words, it was because Gu Yuanbai was by his side and he was so close to Gu Yuanbai that he suffered so much.
